TI promotes Cortex-M4 MSP432 to MCU top level

Ah, summer time. TI has quietly promoted the Cortex-M MSP432 to the same level as the prolific MSP430. Don’t rejoice too soon, no new parts were announced nor can you find a MSP432 at catalog distributors. Changes are coming… slowly.
Atmel
The Cortex-M7 based SAMV70 and V71 went through their rev B silicon, 25 products total.
AVR has a couple of products with higher temperature in the ATXMEGA family.

Nuvoton
The NUC123ZC2AN1 came out this month, a 72 MHz Cortex-M0 based variant of the ZC2AE1 with +85C max temperature.

Renesas
Renesas released new package variants of the RX630. With the web site revamp, we are seing close to 300 new products in the R5F10 but with NRND status. We are checking on it.

SiliconLabs
Silicon Labs EFM8 had 23 new products: these are all extended temperature version of existing parts.

ST Microelectronics
ST released 58 products, in 2 groups: the first group includes extended temperature versions of existing parts. The second group adds no less than 23 parts to the STM32L4x1, 4×2 and 4×3 product lines. These boast 84uA/MHz dynamic current consumption with a Cortex-M4.
The STM8 added a few extended temperature parts to the STM8L101 family.

Texas Instruments
TI gave birth to 22 new MSP430 in the F53 and FR59 families. The big change was the promotion of the MSP432 family to the top of the MCU hierarchy, a move that shows TI commitment to bring more products to market – hopefully. No MSP432 part were announced, and the device is stil not available broadly either at TI or at catalog distributors.
